Just a reminder, in keeping with our County approved reopening guidelines any student called in with an illness related absence or sent home with any one or more of the symptoms listed below must be cleared by a district nurse to return to in person instruction. As detailed below, per county guidelines students must shift to remote learning for a period of 10 days or must be cleared by a medical provider to return sooner. This may or may not involve a Covid test and is a decision made by your medical provider. While in some instances this may seem extreme, we are working hard to keep our students and staff safe in the school setting. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your ongoing support in this matter,

Laura Curran BSN, RN, PHN

Illness Protocol

Alameda County Public Health Department (ACPHD) recommends that students who appear to have a COVID-19 or influenza-like illness at arrival, or become ill during the day, be promptly separated from other students and staff and sent home. Symptoms include but are not limited to:

Temperature 100.0 or above or chills

Congestion or runny nose

Shortness of breath

Sore throat or cough

Body aches/Fatigue

New loss of taste or smell

Students exhibiting any symptom, not previously documented by a healthcare provider, should be isolated until they can be transported home or to a healthcare facility, as soon as practicable. Contact information for parents should be updated regularly so that parents can pick up their ill child in a timely manner should the child present to the office with any symptoms.

Return to School after Exclusion for Symptoms

Students with symptoms may not return for in-person instruction until they have met CDPH criteria to discontinue home isolation for those with symptoms.

If your our student has been identified with symptom(s) that could be associated with COVID-19 infection based on criteria from Alameda County Public Health, the following are requirements for your student to return to campus.

1. Symptoms have resolved, AND

2. A medical provider (doctor, nurse practitioner or certified physician assistant) provides a letter indicating that (1) an alternative diagnosis has been made and (2) the student’s symptoms are NOT due to COVID-19.

3. If the student’s COVID-19 test is negative, and the parents want the student to return to the program before the 10 days of isolation have passed, the student may return if:

1. The student is feeling better (all symptoms improving), AND

2. There have been at least 24 hours with no fever, without the aid of taking medicines to lower the fever such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin), AND

The medical provider will need to provide a letter indicating that (1) the student’s symptoms are NOT due to COVID-19, AND (2) the COVID-19 test was negative, BUT

4. If it is not possible for the parent to consult a medical provider, they must obtain a COVID-19 negative test result indicating that a molecular test or PCR was performed.
